I want to thank Dr. Ferris for allowing us to get an inside to the beautiful worlds in the American South. The work Dr. Ferris has done in his career documenting the South and mastering it, is truly amazing. This is by far the most enjoyable class I have ever taken!

Excepcional! Me encanto!

Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.

Very interesting and informative.

I am so glad that I was able to participate in this class. It was so very enjoyable and informative.

Fantastic!

I really enjoyed this course. Very interesting!

Because I was born and raised in the South, I enjoy courses that expound my knowledge of southern culture. This is an excellent course and I am enjoying Dr. Ferris' lectures. It brings to mind my memories of early childhood experiences (the good and the bad) that have shaped the national and international consciousness. I state that because I lived in Atlanta, GA during the Civil Rights Era and I wear my southern style with pride, no matter where I travel.

Excellent!!

One of the greatest courses I ever followed!

Interesting, documentary, not even one minute boring, very well organized and easy to follow.

Music is part of our history.

Fascinating introduction and lots of pointers to follow through if you want to explore more

So much fun! Very inter

As a non-American and a musician I found this course presented immensely interesting and important background information as to how life was and developed in the American South, culminating in hearing the story of its music which I now understand in its context. I heartily recommend this course!

I really enjoyed this course. The lecturer has a style that keeps you interested. The content was very interesting.

Great course, lots of fun and some great music and culture.

Amazing and fascinating course. The instructor is a treasure to find. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon this course with an instructor with such a rich history and knowledge of the South. I recommend to any and everyone who loves history and folklore alike. I wish there were a way to down load the videos. This is a great archive of quite possibly my own ancestry. I absolutely loved this course.

Started this course, but had to stop initially because I started a PhD. But I couldn't stop thinking about it so resumed the other day. Loved it.

Very interesting, great professor

This has been an interesting and informative course. It would be nice if Prof Ferris could produce an intermediate course on the same topic.

Excellent! Full of treasure trove of information with History, stories and culture!

This was a wonderful class! A great intro to the culture of the south.

very helpful an introduction! Making me really wanna know more about the South. Love the Story-telling oral tradition of South!

Engaging and interesting, a review of Southern Culture with an excellent instructor.

As part of the southern family living abroad I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Thanks Bill, for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I look forward to watching your documentaries on Folkstream!

Bill Ferris is a wealth of knowledge and experience - I only regret missing out on the classroom dynamic of a Ferris-led discussion of Southern arts, particularly the Blues.
